Because Anna is missing.
Last seen undercover in Cambridge, investigating the suspicious death of a student tied to the university's elite, Anna vanished in circumstances too dangerous to ignore. And the last email she sent... was to Reid.

Reviews / Votes
I totally recommend this twisty, unpredictable thriller -- Claire Douglas Propulsive, pacy, hugely immersive - a brilliantly told story. I didn't want it to end but also couldn't stop turning the pages! -- Andrea Mara * No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of No One Saw A Thing * Lodge takes her time getting her ducks in a row, but this pays off magnificently as everything finally comes together in the frenzied denouement * The Times * I loved Dead To Me, a whip-smart, twisty thriller full of intrigue, rivalries and a brilliant heroine you'll be rooting for. Gytha Lodge gets better and better -- Laura Marshall * Sunday Times bestselling author of Friend Request * Imagine Jane Casey and Lisa Jewell and Ruth Ware collaborated to write a brilliant psychological thriller set in dark academia, underpinned by a will they/won't they romance. But this unique novel is all down to the talented Gytha Lodge - I highly recommend -- Jo Callaghan Dead To Me is a delicious slice of dark academia. Another gripping and beautifully written book from Gytha Lodge -- C.S. Green Praise for Gytha Lodge -- : I was completely gripped... Such a clever, twisty mystery. I loved it -- BP Walter A taut, gripping thriller * Sun * Classic detective fiction at its best...edge-of-seat suspense -- Jeffery DeaverMore details
